Fiona Bruce MP visits Newton Court Care Home to support their call for more volunteers
Fiona Bruce MP visited Newton Court Care Home last week. The care home, located on St Ann’s Road, Middlewich, has 60 ensuite rooms and provides nursing care for the elderly and physically disabled.
Newton Court would like to invite more people to come and volunteer in the home with the residents. The work of the volunteers is very important and much appreciated by the staff and residents. There is a wide range of opportunities to volunteer from book reading to playing music to just chatting.
Newton Court also holds Special Interest Weeks such as a recent “Birdwatching Week” when a visitor showed photographs of a variety of birds in their habitats. The care home’s Holiday at Home Weeks are also very popular when volunteers come in to talk about a country they have visited and special displays about the country are put on. More ideas and volunteers for such weeks are always welcome and next week is a Book Week where people can go to read to the residents and in preparation, as shown in the photograph, residents have been making bookmarks.
